[Bug 883206] New: Predecessor information for products, extensions, and modules.
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=883206 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=883206#c0 Summary: Predecessor information for products, extensions, and modules. Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE.org Version: unspecified Platform: Other OS/Version: SLES 12 Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: P5 - None Component: BuildService AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: bamboo@suse.com QAContact: adrian@suse.com Found By: Development Blocker: Yes To be able to determine the right product to upgrade / update to, YaST needs to know which predecessor a product / extension / module has. Think: "SLE SDK 11 SP3" is a predecessor for "SLE SDK 12". Ideally we'd use the CPE for this to be able to identify the correct product. Once the BuildService adds this information to its product description, the SUSE Customer Center can pass it on to YaST. SMT would get the same information from SCC. Only problem might be, if a user attempts to upgrade without any network connection whatsoever. E.g. from a USB stick with the media / repositories on it. For this case it might help to have the information about the predecessor in the repo metadata, too. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

So there already is a mechanism how to provide upgrade data in product meta-data.
Yes, the -release package may 'Obsolete: product:
